Opening Hours

In addition to his photographic praxis which has earned him a great deal of attention in the last few years, Tobias Zielony has also been involved in filmmaking. This led to the making of Le Vele di Scampia (2009), for example. It is a stop motion animated film created from individual photographs: night shots of the eponymous...

The program presents short films and video works that deal with (acting in) urban space. At the beginning of the cooperation between the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and the Alle School of Fine Arts and Design in Addis Ababa, the central focus of the first jointly planned program is on artists’ reflections on city structures and the...

Role games and improvisation take on a special significance here. “People don’...

Sofie Thorsen’s works often concern concrete places, specific territories and their spaces. For the program, View, Cut, the artist combines her own works with films by Hannes Böck and Armando Andrade Tudela. From her own oeuvre she will be presenting the films The Achromatic Island and Schnitt A-A’ along...

The program of recent Austrian video works compiled by Brigitta Burger-Utzer is aimed at exemplifying how abstraction can be employed to construct multi-layered reference systems and associational spaces. Thus it seems as if photographic abstraction is coming to be used at precisely the point in time when highly developed technology...

A sheet is folded a total of seven times, each time with one more folding process included. Each resulting grid corresponds to the projection format of a 16mm film which is exactly the measurement of the length of Dóra Maurer’s outstretched arms: Timing — a conceptual and visually vivid key work of structural film. The filmic...
